Hadn't had my first cup of coffee and was working late last night.
Yes, I did read the part about why you can't open windows. My comment about the windows was meant in a "why talk about temps when the problem is humid stagnant air" sense.
A few paperweights would solve the breeze problem.:-) Sorry, I'm a person who will go out of his way to keep his windows open over turning on A/C.
if it's 20 C+ outside and sunny, it will rise to an abyssmal 5 C hotter than that inside
Where do you live that 25C is abyssmal and intolerable? I live in the US South, and during the summer it's regularly between 27 and 32C. We call those "warm summer days", and they are perfect for working. Maybe your abyssmal condition is because you don't open the windows and get fresh air flow.
(These temps brought to by a trusty HP 20S calc because I am a Southerner and reject the New World Order's Celsius conspiracy. That's a joke. Laugh.)
The article is on laptops not desktops. I feel safe in guessing 99% percent of laptop users bought a prebuilt system. When you're putting Linux/BSD on a laptop, you want don't want a barebones system. You want a decent and popular system that might even have manufacturer support.
In case you are a legit post - did you not do ANY research? Did you not ask any Apple fans about buying one now? Did you not visit any of the rumor sites or apple.slashdot.com?
I've been a Mac user for six months and even *I* know that you don't buy a Mac the few weeks leading up to a big event... Especially if Jobs delivers the keynote. It's like clothes shopping the weekend *before* Thanksgiving.
Heh. Where are you not realizing that Apple is a huge company that makes a lot of money? I think we get so used to thinking of Apple as "little Apple," and "niche-player Apple" that we forget they are one of the largest and healthiest computer makers around. There is a vast difference between a relatively small marketshare for the platform and the quite respectable sales they do compared to any other single PC maker.
I'm glad someone pointed this out. Apple is ONE company that controls 5% (not sure if that's current, but it's what most people quote) of a market. One out of twenty computers bought is a Mac. Macs have a larger profit margin than beige boxes. That means Apple makes more money than the other PC companies. Yes, their market share could be larger, but it's nothing to sneeze at, especially when you consider that they sell a fundamentally different computer from the beige box companies.
This will take Divx beyond the desktops of those with broadband connections and into the living rooms of those who don't own computers. Expect to see a resurgence of Xbox sales and much confusion in MS as to whether or not this is a good thing.
You think people who don't own computers are going to mod their Xbox (reasonable). Then their friends with computers and broadband will take the time to download and burn DivX;) movies (unreasonable). Am I not seeing how else someone without a computer will get DivX;) flicks?
I can see the computer friend doing for the novelty value two or three times, but after that, isn't he/she going to say "Get a Computer" or "Rent it on DVD"? It takes time, more time than it takes to get in a car and drive to the local video store.
Sure, there will be a itty bitty niche of kids who will do this, but not enough to push sales of Xbox much higher. The general public tends to purchase items for what they're designed for. If there's an easy mod to add some functionality, they'll do it. What you're talking about here is more than just a simple mod, you have to then add time for downloading and burning. Seeing the movie for free saves you $3 - $4 rental fee, but takes time and frustration if you download a crappy rip or have a bad burn, etc.... It's not an obvious time saver, unlike Napster with MP3s.
I work for a company that sell's POP3 accounts. Currently on one server, we have something like +10,000 addresses under almost as many different domain names.
I wasn't the one who set the server up, but I know it required a few readily available patches to handle the volume. Other than that it's a pretty standard install.
It also uses vpopmail to manage the different addresses and to make scripting easier.
Bruce McIndoe was the founder & CEO of CSSi, an Inc.500 and four-time Washington Technology FAST 50 company that developed intelligence collection and processing systems for various national intelligence organizations. Bruce was one of the lead architects for the National Security Agency's Echelon II program, identified as one of the most productive intelligence programs in the agency's history. He was also a major contributor to the Future Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems Architecture Program, several major Communications Security (COMSEC) programs and numerous technical programs. After successfully growing CSSi to 150 people and $17 million in annual revenues, Bruce sold the company to Nichols Research Corporation where he became VP Enterprise Applications and then VP Sales & Marketing with Nichols InfoTec. Prior to joining iJET, he was President of B2B Web Solutions specializing in supply chain automation using the Internet and XML technologies. Bruce holds an M.S. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and is a trustee of Allegheny College, where he received his B.S. in Physics.
A 14 y/o is not going to be sane and stable if his/her parents keep a tight enough leash on him that he doesn't have access to arcades or rental places with violent games. As someone else intelligently pointed out, there is a certain expectation that in public places explicit material will be kept out of the hands of minors while still being accessible to adults.
And it's also not just "the left." Ashcroft said that beautiful anti-Free Speach line. He said something akin to the effect of everyone who criticizes this administration and it's anti-terrorisism policy is on the side of the terrorists.
These books could be made so that if you close them they are water and shock resistant.
That doesn't solve the bath tub issue, unlesss you can make the book automatically close in the time it takes to drop three inches from the hand to the bath water.
And considering where the book is in relation to a guy's equipment, I'm not sure I'd like an automatic closing waterproof book.... OUCH!
The site's/.'d right now so I'm going off of memory. I might be wrong, but doesn't Landover and this site in question both use Cafepress?
Everyone uses Cafepress so that can't put a nail in the coffin. Just go to the Cafepress main page and start browsing. There are thousands of people using the site.
On SciFi's Farscape board, there was the briefiest of a hint of spoiler posted by a Brit. There is a valid reason for SciFi postponing the last four episodes. It has nothing to do with problems or SciFi being stupid or an attempt to build up tension. It's pretty straightforward.
I haven't seen the episodes, though, so what I read was only hearsay. I can't find the post either (the board renders like crap in IE for Mac).
Ummm... it's only a website? It's not your website. We already know half the articles they post are exagerated Linux tripe. 'sides, you KNEW this was going to happen.
For one day, for 24 hours, all you had to do was change your home page away from/..
No, you couldn't do that. You had to refresh the page to see the next story... You're hooked... You're like the Star Wars weenies who want to believe Ep II will be good... You know it won't, but you keep hoping. Come grow up! Form that nice hard cynical shell of an adult:)
According to Yahoo Maps, the NOC you found is to the north of Sterling. According to sites listing the locations of the root nameservers (http://netmon.grnet.gr/stathost/rootns/), A ROOT is in Herndon. Herndon is south of Sterling.
There are other posts here which claim pretty much the same thing, including an AC poster saying he's in the know.
With the number of brick buildings in the northern Virginia area, the root's building is as obscure as a blonde woman in California.
There are a couple posts above yours that mention the official Verisign NOC in Sterling is not the root server's NOC.

I'm just curious, did _you_ know the older definition of "blue moon" before the 1999 Sky & Telescope article pointing out the error from 1946?
You're watching in the comfort of your home. It's two discs. You watch the first 2 hours. Get up, take a piss, get another monstrous bowl of popcorn, sit down and watch the last two hours.
Besides, it's ONLY an extra 42 minutes. In the theatre, yah that makes a big diff, but this is not much different than watching two movies in one night.
And think of how drunk you'll be after a four hour Fellowship of the Rings drinking game session? *wink*
Slashdot Mirror
It's only been updated six times. Not bad for a cook book that's been around since 1931.
Supposedly the 1997 revision introduced more ethnic cuisines to reflect their grow in popularity since the previous revision in 1975.
La Technique by Jacque Pepin is a good book for basics.
Ahhh... Yes, we're talking slightly different languages. In the US, the reported temperature is taken from a thermometer in the shade.
I can see where 25C in an english box is hot weather. Thank you for a new tidbit of info!

Here's a troll to learn from - smart, original, even a bit cultured.
Poor unimaginitive and outdated troll. OS X has BSD underpinnings with a default of zero services enabled. It's quite secure now days.

No offense, pastor, but just because it doesn't show up on Google doesn't prove its non-existance.
